With all the baba ghanoush that you’re making after reading my last recipe, I am sure that you are in dire need of a flatbread recipe. Thankfully, I have a good one for you.
I have been making this recipe for years. All you need is a skillet and about an hour to produce these pillowy, pliable flatbreads that are perfect for scooping up hummus, wrapping around shawarma, or dipping in vindaloo. It is the kind of thing that turns a simple meal into something noteworthy. Sure, a good curry is a wonderful thing to share, but when it comes with homemade flatbread, people start to take notice. So, next time you make a batch of baba ghanoush, fry up some falafel, or stew a pot of dal, try this recipe as well–it’ll change the whole meal. Continue reading Skillet Flatbread
We are quickly running out of summer, but the weather here in Oregon hasn’t yet noticed. In the heat of late summer, nothing is more appealing to me than a nice mezze platter piled high with dips, bread, cheese, vegetables, and pickled things. And the …

Years ago, when we were just about to finish the bus, we picked the pacific northwest as our first destination. I’d worked up there for a summer some years prior, and I don’t know what it is about that part of the world, whether it’s the moody skies, the dense, green forests, the stunning, snow-capped volcanoes, or the mountains that run right into the sea, but it has a magic about it that I find absolutely enchanting.
A few weeks ago, two pallets of The Buslife Kitchen Cookbook arrived in Colorado and were promptly stuffed into my brother’s garage. That first weekend I packaged and mailed the more than 300 pre-orders. By now, just about everyone who preordered a book should have …
Kung Pao chicken, alternatively known as Gong Bao Chicken, is a sweet and sour stir-fried dish made with cubed chicken and peanuts. It has become a classic around the world and is certainly one of the most famous dishes from Sichuan province.
Egg drop soup, also called egg flower soup, is about as simple as it gets: a nice broth, lightly thickened with starch, and filled with lovely ribbons of egg. It is easy to make at home, and is something that we eat pretty regularly because it is delicious, warming, and we nearly always have the ingredients on hand (you probably do too).
